Default Nigeria

About 15 or more years ago I saw a British documentary on NZ TV on the Nigerian Army. This program showed and interviewed many officers of the Nigerian Army and I was surprised to see many of them wearing embroidered cap badges. One in particular was an Artillery badge. The impression I have is that the Nigerian Army only wear a universal cap badge and thus the badges I saw would have been unofficial purchase cap badges. Does anyone have any details on what the Nigerians wear since independence?

Dear Sir.

Delighted to see the Armoured Corps baqdges. Do you happen to know if there is a Signal Corps bullion badge of the same theme. I think that is what quisksiler is looking for aswell.

Kind regards

Chris Walker

Thanks Fearnaught for the illustrations. Looks like there is a whole lot of investigation required for Nigeria! Most interstesting.
